(i) Each FCM Member shall pay to NFA an assessment equal to:

(C) $.04.02 for each security futures contract, as defined in Section 1a(31) of the Act, traded on a round-turn basis, carried by it in a commodity futures account;

carried by it for a customer other than: (1) a person having privileges of membership on a contract market where such contract is entered; or (2) a business affiliate of such FCM that directly or indirectly owns 100 percent of or is owned 100 percent by or has 100 percent ownership in common with such FCM provided such FCM has privileges of membership on the contract market where such contract is entered; or (3) an omnibus account carried for another FCM Member for which assessments are payable to NFA by the other FCM;

(D) $.04.02 for each commodity futures contract traded on a foreign board of trade (other than an option contract) on a round-turn basis;

(E) $.02.01 for each option contract traded on a foreign board of trade on a per trade basis,

Provided, however, such assessments shall be suspended or adjusted by the Board for a period not to exceed three months when in the judgment of the Board such action is appropriate in light of NFA's overall financial goals. The FCM Member shall invoice these assessments to its customer and shall remit the amount due to NFA; and
